Hi!

May 23, 20242 yr

Moving over from Wetpixel- same user name there. I also post at ScubaBoard in the Olympus Outlet forum as Furnari. I'm a long time Olympus user, currently with OM-1mkI and mkII bodies and a variety of lenses. Mostly topside, but I can occasionally get in the water here in Oregon and other PNW locations.

Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review
Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review

RichN · Thursday at 07:53 PM1 day

TimG · August 8Aug 8

Having recently written about installing the o-Turtle trigger into a Nauticam housing, I’ve now had a go with a UWT internal trigger for the Nauticam NA-OM1 housing. UWT describes it as the 11072-22-HSS TTL-Converter for NAUTICAM for OLYMPUS/ OM SYSTEM. The UWT trigger arrives in a bubble-wrap envelope in a small cardboard box. No frills functional. It consists of a small electronics board with two LEDs and a cable leading to a hot shoe connector. The manual explains that strobes are selected
